girder truss

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Apr 2004 19:29:59 GMT

We need a girder truss that has a top chord that is sloped and a bottom chord that is arched. I looked on Object online and couldn't really find what I think I'm looking for. (Truss set is the closet but I don't know if it can make a sloped top and not a curved one like it shows). Is there anyway I can make this shape on my own. It's a pretty complicated shape. I want to make a section of a building so we can take a rendered look at it.

Thanks for any ideas,
Michele

It hought I'd try the truss maker under Extras and It looks like it might work for us. When I go to an elevation, The curved part doesn't look as smooth as I want it to be. What setting do I need to change so that it looks smoother. I tried magic wand settings and it didn't seem to change anything.

Thanks,
Michele

I always seem to find the answer to my question within minutes of posting it to you guys. I know if I hadn't posted it, I wouldn't have found the answer. There is a "Resolution of Arcs" box inside of the Truss maker dialog box.

Thanks anyway,
Michele
